Vote on Wednesday, you might just unleash the superhero in you ;-)

Most of us have aspirations to be a superhero at some stage - a modern day Wolraad Woltemade or Racheltjie de Beer (okay, most of us also know that the probability of that happening is close to zero, so some 'superhero qualities' will have to do then).  It might also be that you're not up to the mighty ocean or extreme weather conditions, in which case helping an old lady to cross a busy street or giving your freshly bought doughnut to the hungry beggar on the corner will have to do.  Small gestures and acts of kindness can bring out the superhero in us, even if it's just for a few minutes every other week.


With the local government elections taking place on Wednesday every South African is bombarded with the promises and slogans of the various parties to vote for them, thereby building a better South Africa.  What your political stance might be is important, but more importantly is the fact that you cast your vote and don't regard Wednesday to be just another public holiday.  It's an opportunity to be a responsible South African citizen, to lead SA, and to unleash you inner 'superhero', even if it's only for a few minutes!

Other interesting material to get you into 'voting mode':

  • Stem vroeg, en stem reg! (Jan-Jan Joubert, Rapport)
  • Vote not only for your municipal leadership but also for the values that should shape our society.  These may include economic growth, caring for future generations, integrity, job security, environmental awareness and affordable housing. Access this survey on www.ourvalues.co.za
